Leipzig street circuit

Have read brief mentions of sport car races in the fifties on a street circuit in Leipzig, but web searches turn up little more than what I've read - that there were races there and known drivers of the time competed. Can anyone shed some light on this? What years? Circuit map?

Stuck's biggest success came in the inaugural Leipzig Straßenrennen, a street race through the Leipzig Stadtpark, the old fox winning the 20-lap race that was probably not a part of the East German championship at the time. Unfortunately, details on the entry list, starting grid and result of the race are missing.

The Leipzig racetrack was a typical East-German one, constructed out of ordinary streets and park roads. Most of these streets and roads still exist, but bear no scars of those races. As I said: they're just streets: the Wundtstraße, the Karl-Tauchnitzstraße, and the small roads through the Clara Zetkin park. You can easily plot the track by using Google Earth.

Actually, I've done quite a few Leipzig laps myself on a bicycle in the past years.

There are many photos of the races in Leipzig, but most of them are published and discussed on close forums. However, if you're seriously interested in GDR racing history (which is truly fascinating!), and if you can read German, I can recommend this book:
